Should be a routine three points but then again, I thought we’d comfortably overturn a six point deficit to dump Lynn out of the Cup and that never happened. 46-44 will do.

Give Harrison another ride if you ask me

My comment about probably throwing it away was focused on this years Cup semi final against Lynn, not the previous years.

Not sure what to expect from Cook tbh. But i wouldn't be giving Cook an extra ride unless we are struggling, which i don't see happening, as we're 4 points up on aggerate from Monday.

Socials and local media really ramping up this evening's meeting!! Also weather is overcast with a slight risk of a light shower this afternoon which should help track prep no end.

It’s so frustration but you make a valid point. Looking at positions 2, 6 & 7 this season, they ride well at home but as you point out poor away. The difference in their collective home and away average is 2.07 and you are correct that this signifies their “one track pony” status. We don’t often agree but there is no getting away with the figures on the one.

Double post

Vaculik is one of the “boys” still decent but should not get Wilcard.Would like Emil and Artem to be back in.

Where can I buy some of those rose tinted glasses? Sheffield thumped Ipswich in that second leg the weather didn’t effect the track at all… Leicester would beat the other 3 teams on current form

i wrote a really this morning, but perhaps forgot to click send.

dont worry about that, i can assure you there will be NO DRAW thursday. we will be lucky to get 25, let alone 45 😂

If the score is a draw after heat 15, do we have two superheats, one to see who wins on the night and one for the aggregate point?

I think that's a good call, get a US rider back in the series! Vaculik has been dreadful so far this season and has been in the series many years, failed to qualify and to me doesn't deserve to be in next year ahead of others. If Emil and Artem get wildcards that would also be great.

See long time Bandits fan Colin Tait passed away

Just having a latte waiting for @lbw to join with his flat white 😁 Another banana skin meeting for the pilots, last few meetings you all thought an easy win was on the cards, turned out you struggled to win, hopefully this one is a similar struggle 😁

Getting out of the gate first and staying there around the first two turns was always the priority... With the acceleration the modern day engines bring, the width of the bends at many tracks, the tyres used, and the slick tracks, it is now even more required... An example was Anders Rowe on Monday, he rode the inside to keep Kurtz behind and Holder, who was quicker than Kurtz, couldn't get passed as all followed the one inside line that was available... Get out in front, make yourself as wide as possible entering the turns (at most tracks), and follow (again at most tracks), the one line to use and talent differential can be hugely negated...

Well Oxford will feel at home at the wimbored road dust bowl, expect dust lots of it from heat 1 😛

The playoffs draw will be decided by whichever teams the the mickey mouse tv channel wants them in.

Typical nowadays after a good win we've no speedway the next 2 Saturday nights.

It’s obvious that Courtney has nothing to do with the CarPark or we would be paying.

Bit harsh that. If Ipswich didn’t have bad luck in recent years they’d have no luck at all. They’ve had the best team on paper three years running now and had the gods go against them last two years. A country mile ahead at the top of the table before losing Sayfoootinov on top of Doyle last year, and the year before the weather gods were against them. 18 points up from the home leg and in the return, the heavens opened and made it a complete farce. Riders were being wheeled out for races before the riders from the previous race had even left the track. It was a lottery which Sheffield eventually won. If the rain hadn’t arrived there’s no doubt in my mind Ipswich would have held on. People may disagree but that season on three previous visits there, Ipswich lost by 6, and 12 on two occasions. Ipswich again have the best team on paper and if they don’t win it this time, then they can rightly be labelled failures. If they go in to to the play off with a full 1-7, then there will be nowhere to hide and no excuses. Nothing against any of the four teams involved, but I personally hope Ipswich win it because Louis deserves it for consistently putting the best team together in recent years. Anyone else without a horse in the race should be rooting for them too. (Except for Lynn fans probably 😉)

Becker!!

Two out of three ain't bad
